7th-Grade Teacher to Students: Obama is a ‘N’-Word
October 8th, 2008
7th-Grade teacher to students: Obama is a ‘N’-word. Angry parents in the northwest Florida community of Marianna want a middle school teacher fired after he put the “N”-word on the board to describe Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama. The Marianna Middle School teacher, Greg Howard, is now serving a 10-day suspension after writing an acronym on the dry-erase board on Sept. 26: “C.H.A.N.G.E. – Come Help A N*gg*r Get Elected.” But many parents want the 17-year teacher fired. The seventh-grade social studies teacher’s class has 17 White students, six Black students and one Asian student. Initially he was suspended for the day without pay, but that was elevated to the 10-day punishment. He must also write a letter of apology to students. “We feel like the punishment is sufficient,” Larry Moore, superintendent of the Jackson County School District, told The Detroit Free Press. “We did not feel he had to be fired.” NAACP officials say they will reserve their actions in the case until their investigation is complete. Audrey Wad, who has nieces and nephews at the school, didn’t need any more information before expressing her outrage. “To me, it’s hurtful,” she told the Free Press. “The idea that he would impose his political opinion on the children is wrong to me. That’s where he crossed the line.”

Let me state first and foremost that I agree with the premise that this so called teacher should be fired. I also beleive that he should not be allowed to teach in any school system in this country. In addition the principal should be fired as well, because he more than likly is in support of the views held by this teacher. We live in a country where many people hold such views.However; this is starting to change,because change is like time it does not wait on anyone. Now for some of you who placed your comments on this site I have a criticism. While it should not matter I am a middle aged black man with children in and out of school.The point that I’m getting at is the diction of some of your comments,the misspelled words, the run-on sentences, the fragmented statements and sentences. There were times that I could not tell where the sentence started or ended.Please for the love of our Lord and Savior learn how to express yourselves, because if you don’t you are only hurting your childern in the present and for the future. I have no doubt that some of you who listed your comments to this site are high school and colllege graduates,nor am I doubtful of your intellegence,but it is not reflected in your conveyance.I’m typing this message on this site knowing that I will be admonished for doing so,but I care to deeply for the well being of the up and coming generations to sit idly by.These comments are not ment for the death of any but for the life of all that are willing to except criticism of love and care for those who will follow in the foot-steps of the ones that will come after us. Thank You with much LOVE.
WOW!!!!! and he calls him self a teacher – I wonder what he really teaches, oh yeah that’s right – he teaches ignorance.
Pissed of Fred:
It would take a person of your color and ignorance to say such a STUPID and RACIST thing like that.
A black person calling another black person a nig………. versus a white person calling a black person a nig…………. is NO WAY IN HELL the same thing. Same word, but MEANINGS to them are TOTALLY DIFFERENT and you as………….. know it: I personnally don’t say it and I am black, but I understand why some blacks do say it to one another, It shouldn’t and better not come out you racist people MOUTH or you idiots will get DEALT with:
His racist as……….. should have gotton fired saying that shi……… around those kids>>>>>>>>>>>..
So pissed of fred, if I, (A BLACK PERSON) Call you a racist white $#@@$, uncle tom, or a white $$$#$$?, versus someone of your color, you won’t get offended? Is this what your telling me?

THE TEACHER IS NOT THE PROBLEM.THE PROBLEM IS THE ADMINESTRATORS AND THE COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT ALLOW THIS KIND OF NONSENSE TO TAKE PLACE
KIRK C ODEMS FOR PRESIDENT!!!! UMLAW,phuck you , sellout oriental kracker mf!
I know I should have said this last week. He also needs to be arrested for cruelty to children,disorderly conduct, and etc.. I also got my to tell this too!The reason I have been having fun is due to Macon Code Adminstration sec.2-5.Scholarships -Any person residing within the city limits may make application to city council for an undergraduate scholarship to Mercer Unversity,without being connected to any school .Applications for the fifteen undergraduate scholarships to be awarded by the city counsil are to be made to the mayor on blanks prepared for the purpose ,giving name ,age and residence of applicant , name of parent or guardian,applicant’s ability or inability to pay for the tuition,and the like ,and the namesof threecitizens as references.(Code 1979,2-1006;Ord.No.)-92-0023,8-18-92).My attorney during my August 24,1999 assualt ,attempted murder, and etc.. attended mercer law school. My local high school staff and teachers all knew it in fact one of the individuals Thelma Dillard was on city counsel and the local NAACP President at the time. She is also a accessory after the fact to the crime of physical abuse to a child under the age of 16 years old. The other thing for all the past and present mocking .The school has been receiving stolen money.Theft by taking -their students have worked for indigent defense-all are helpping the sity-state oppress ,intimdate,injure,threaten the poor people in the city . Theft by conversion tooand theft by taking. I would have to say cruelty to children and disorderly conduct with federal child abuse degrading children of minority to make them think . They are nothing to society . When in nationality they are priceless. E. Brett Thompson spelled your name wrong on the compliant on purpose . I was waiting for the false verdict from the judge. These Mercer Law School students are not only criminals . They are helpping the real criminals get away making them an accessory after the fact to the crime. I wish T.I. ,Plies,Rosci,Terrance,Q-45, The Game,lil Wayne,DJ khaled,Rick Ross, Jim Jones,Will SmithYoung Jeezy,Nelly,, Jay-Z, Ludda,Russell Simmons this ain’t like rapping at all man. I sent the proof/recient’s out before I went off on these heathens(Psalms 2) . At the same time I was like know they didn’t come to Macon ,Ga to perform. I was like come Ms.Debra Lee (BET) and Bob Johnson it my fault the law enforcement , board of education, governmental agencies violated work ethnics and a whole lot of more laws. The repeating history isn’t my style . Which was the reason I brought the information to BET . I mean ya’ll Black Entertainment Television right! I don’t con people . I love to tell the truth majority of the time, but who drunk the last of the kool aide. I don’t know! I know I be the one that did it too. It don’t be life dangering like their actions or threatening. I can make some more koll aide, but I can’t bring Robert Lee Anderson ,Alex Harris Sr and JR., Lennard Gibson, Mattie McKenzie Gibson, Gertrude Woods Harris , The man in Las Vegas , the people in Monroe County killed by a taser gun some while locked up if not all, Charlie and Elizabeth McKenzie , and other’s R.I.P. I can make a change by telling my story and how the LORD brought me through it. I can take a polograph something my foes probably will not do looking at the R.I.C.O.(acts). Yeah! They wanted to know the truth during Jena 6,so I told them my experince. The truth is it hurt me more cause it actually did happen.It wasn’t about race or color neither. I remember getting whipped by my mother as child ,and she told me like my great great grandmother,grandmother she did it out of love and it hurt her more than me.I understand what she was talking about. The reason I am the greatest attorney alive is because I will tell the truth,prsent evidence, and witnesses.
These are the kind of people I would not want to associate with.
To Pissed of Fred:
I am a black person who is indeed offended by your comment and I DO NOT SAY THE WORD AT ALL, however the blacks that do use the word to eachother is a totally diffferent meaning to them than a racist white $%?$# as yourself say it.
A white person saying it to A black person versus a black person saying it to another black person is TOTALLY DIFFERENT and you know it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A white person saying it means they are racist, which will get you devils asses….. beat the fuc…………. down under the ground where you belong with your master; the devil himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s just like me, (a black person) calling you Fred(white person) a racist white $%?$#, uncle tom, or a white %$*%%*#, A balonie and extra mayo, cheese eatin $%?$# versus someone of your color, you would get Offended, I’m sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Its not the same!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA 08:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is terrible white people would rather vote for someone that is not qualifed for the position as President because of race. MCCain is old and appears to be fragile and if elected it’s a chance he won’t live throughout his term leaving Palin to run our country. What a double tragedy that would be for American. First being Bush . American’s can not make the same mistake for the third time. Our economy is ruined and if Mccain is elected it will probably be the end of the America we know and love. This is no longer be the land of plenty its the land of uncertainty . We are sure to have a war amongst our own people. The economy will get so bad that people will become desperate and violent. We will need our troops to control our streets to keep peace right here in America. People don’t be controlled by the media. Look at your own financial situation and if you can survive another four years of this good luck to you.
No 1 has swagger like me, u dumb niggers!!!! hhahahahahaha
I am outraged. This is why a change needs to be made. This teacher should be FIRED not on a 10-day punishment. Larry Moore and alot of other people should know this. This is a new beginning for America and some people can’t take the fact that Obama is our next president. You don’t see black people running around throwing around any words like this because John McCain is running. People need to wake up because CHANGE is Coming and it’s gonna start with Obama as our NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!! So get use to it.
This just goes to us(Blacks) that we need to talk and pray with our children more and more everyday. There are going to always be those type of people with narrow mindedness who will try and push it off on anyone who listens. Our children need to know where we have came from and and then they can see where we will go. We need to pray for everyone especially this man.
I think he should also be terminated on the premise that he did try to push his political views, opinions, and racism on those kids. No that thinks like that should be around groups of children. There has come a time in his life where he had to deal with children of a different race and nationality. I wonder how did he handle that situaton? It really makes you think huh? So this should result in diciplinary action and /or termination.

Why is this teacher still there????? are you freaking kidding me right now??
i cannot believe what I’m reading. This country is going crazy. And as everyone says, if that was a black person calling a white person out of his character, oh believe me us black people would have to pay!! but if it was the other way around (like right now in this situation) nothing will be done. A punishment is bullsh*t!! it feels like history is repeating itself and we don’t need to be racist to each other. I feel very very offended by this teacher. i feel like taking this into more further actions because i feel it’s not right at all! Someone needs to do something about this and they need to do it now and fast! what an a**hole… he should remember what he said for the rest of his life, every ingle day, every minute. Why do white people get away with everything? not to be racist because I’m not at all, but this questions still remains in a lot of people’s mind. I just need to understand this once and for all. I guess they can’t see an African American run the country. They are afraid of the C.H.A.N.G.E. thats just it. This racist sh*t needs to stop once and for all.
What can we do? It seem as though it will never end. Ignorance is in their hearts. This man actually thought he did nothing wrong because he was raised in stupidy. Let’s just continue praying for these ignorant, stupid, pityful people. I feel really sad when I think how those black children must have felt when he put that word on the board. Remember that God loves us. But while we are praying; HIS ASS SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!!
My sister car got hit by a white woman. When three white police arrived on the scene they ordered my sister not to open her mouth as she had no right to be in that area. She endured the blame although she was in the right, just because she is black. I am not suprise it happened in Florida, We need to trust God and pray for Obama
I think its sad….i know racism is here and isn’t going anywhere…you will always have racist people in the world…but this behavior is unacceptable… i do applaud the school for responding to this issue…alot of things happen in this country and is expected to be pushed under the rug as if its nothing… but when it comes to being a teacher and working with students you have a certain standard to keep….your personal views need to stay at home or atleast at the door…if your prejudice THAT’S YOUR BUSINESS…but you can’t push your views on the student’s….thats all i have to say about that….
He doesn’t look white to me. Is he ashamed of his ethnicity? I thought we were all of God’s children!!
Of course this so call educator was completely out of line and should be dealt with. He deserves more than a slap on the hand. It amazes me how some people can say anything they want to and not be held accountable for it. This educator is setting an example for his students and making then think it’s ok to say racist remarks. After all he’s the teacher and they’re learning from him.
By all means, FIRE HIM! Or demote him to being the janitor.
that was absolutely uncalled for and really needs to be fired and especially in front of 7th graders…..its not about what color is in the white house its about who can run this country
